A RAINY DAY.

When the summer sky is heavy
And the grass is wet with rain,
When We hear the ceaseless pstter
OF the drops against the pane,
Let us hasten to the attic
Where the shadows dark.y crown
The cobwebs and the clapboaros.
And the rafters grim and brown.
There il stands back in the corner,
Covered DER with dust, the wheel
That our granddame used for spinning
And the quaint old-fashioned reel.
There's the musket old and rusty,
Twas grandsire's long ago
When he hastened TO the battle
In his Valor and his glow.
Hung on pegs, a row of dresses,
Bonnets, garments out OF style;
Could you see them deck their wearsrs
You would only stop and smile.
Dainty slippers, slim and peaked,
High-heeled, very trim and gay;
Now they're only dingy satin
With their roSettes somber gray.
There's spinet with its wires
Covered Ger with yellow rust;
Touch the keys-no chords OF music
Follow, but a cloud OF dust
But tits said your granddame used TO
Woo the gailants TO her side;
And tbs said she rent their bosoms
With the spinets ripping tide.
Here's a chip hat old and battered.
And the remnants Of doll;
Here's a wire cage your uncle
Brought from China with a poll;
Here's hoop you used TO trundie
When you wore your pants at knees;
Here's kite you used 10 gaily
Sail upon the summer breeze.
Here are countless precious treasures
Put with loving care away,
Just TO greet your grown-up fancieS
All upon a rainy day.
But the summer sky is clearing,
Quit the attic and come down;
Leave the quaint old tokens up there
Meath the rafters GRIM and brown.

Formerly part Of Ulster.

All this territory lortll of the Boyne
was once included iii the Province Of
Ulster. The county of Argajl OF Louthwas
one of the four counties of the English
Pale in which in 1473 standing force
was ordered to be maintained, OF which
the Mayor Of Drogheda, Sir Lawrence
Taafe, and Richard Bellew were ap-
pointed commanders. The County was
overrun by the clansmen of O'Neill in
the reign Of Elizabeth. and was certainly
considered then part of the Province OF
Ulster, for in 1896, at the conference
held at Faughar5 between O'Neill and
O'Donel Oh the Irish side, and the Arch
bishop of Cashel and the Earl of Or
monde on that OF the English, the latter
proposed that the English should re-
tain possession of ''that part Of Ulster
situated between the River Boyne and
Dundalk, which they had held for long
period, together with the towns Of New
ry, Carlingford and Carrickfergus, in the
more northern parts Of Ulster. The
Irish chiefta1ns absolutely rejected these
terms, and O'Neill being unable to hold
the disputed territory, the English made
Louth a portion of the Province of LEM
ster and it has remained so ever since.

Lakes Of Kings County.

Kings County has a very small water
area Gifts 1913. 985 acres only l, 1913 are
under water. The Brosna is the only
river Of Importance that passes through
it, the Shannon only skirting the coun-
ty on the west. The Grand Canal trav-
elses the county from Edenderry in the
East of Shannon Harbor on the West
Tough Pallas, between Tullamore aud
Ballyboy, has the reputation Of holding
the finest tench III Ireland. Tough Ar
magh half belongs to this County, as
the boundary line between Kings and
Queens is drawn through it's centre. 1t
contains about 3l5 acres The other
lakes Of the county are Deroin Tough,
in English barony, about 200 acres in
extent; Tough Boura, ITS acres, but so
shallow that man can wade through
every part Of it in the summer time, and
Lougl Couragh, small Tough in the
bog between frankfort and Parsons

Decrease Of Formulation,

! 1t is a sorrowful boast to make Of
Meath that it deserves above any other
county in Ireland to be styled the fruit
full mother OF herds and focks. In few
| counties has the process Of exiting the
people and filing their places with cat
tie and sheep been carried out to such
an extent. In l941 Meath had COM
paratively prosperous population Of 1885,
116 persons. At the last census not
half that number of inhabitants were re-
turned, the population having in 40
years fallen to 81 ,469. The number Of
inhabited houses had in the same period
decreased from 31,76O to 1876. While
the natives of the county were being
expatriated by the thousand, however,
the population Of foreign land-agents,
crown officials, herds, etc, kept on in
oreasing. In 1871 there were 173,O98
natives Of Meath in the county; in 1881,
only 76, 964, In the meantime the Eng
lish residents of the county increased
their number from 258 to SIT. Scotch
herds from IS to IA, and other foreign

Mr.. RUSSELL (Home Ruler) in re-
plying to Ny. Chaplin in the House of
Commons one evening recently, re-
buked that gentleman for the consist
ency with which he opposed every
measure for the benefit Of Irish tenants.
Ireland, he said, was freer from crime
than England, and freer than any
oyher country in Europe. He con.
demned the power given the 1nagis-
trates; the change of venue trials
could never be enforced certain
clauses were SO elastic as to confer I'M
measured powers for suppressing in
dividual rights.
